Expression of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor gene is stimulated by EGF and the phorbol ester, 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). PMA elevates EGF receptor mRNA levels in human KB epidermoid carcinoma cells, but does not significantly affect the half-life of this mRNA when its decay is examined after the addition of actinomycin D. In contrast, EGF greatly prolongs the half...

Tissue-specific alterations in insulin sensitivity occur in response to fasting and refeeding, as part of the integrated adaptive mechanisms employed to adjust to major changes in nutritional status. In the present study the effects of fasting and refeeding on insulin-receptor, actin and myosin mRNA levels in skeletal muscle, and insulin-receptor and uncoupling-protein mRNA in brown adipose tis...

Expression of mRNA for adenosine receptor subtypes A(1), A(2a), A(2b), and A(3) in normal and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated murine RAW 264.7 macrophages has been investigated using the method of quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The results have shown a very low, unquantifiable expression of adenosine A(1) receptor mRNA in both normal and LPS-activated macrophages. The othe...

Background: The MET receptor is a critical member of cancer-associated RTKs and plays an important role in different biological activities, including differentiation, migration, and cell proliferation. Methods: In this study, novel MET inhibitors were introduced and applied on esophageal squamous carcinoma cell line KYSE-30, and the level of proliferation and migration, as well as the activated...

The present study examined the comparative distribution of 5-HT1A receptor mRNA and 5-HT1A receptors in rat brain using a combination of in situ hybridisation histochemistry and in vitro receptor autoradiography. 5-HT1A mRNA was visualized using a 910 bp cRNA probe synthesised from a BalI-PvuII fragment of the rat 5-HT1A reetor gene, while 5-HT1A receptors were labelled with the 5-HT1A-selectiv...

Abstract Background During the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been global administration of novel mRNA vaccines that are effective in reducing burden COVID-19. In tandem with this administration, vaccine-associated complications have identified. One such complication is pericarditis. Case summary This a case 40-year old male who developed clinical pericarditis 3 days after his first dose Pfizer-B...

Abstract Lipid nanoparticles (LNP) are essential components of messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines that have been a cornerstone the COVID-19 public health response. These LNPs used for cell entry and protection mRNA. Others shown LNP BNT162b2 vaccine is able to augment immune response against target. However, it unknown how this stimulates innate cells such as monocytes participate in engagement adap...
